By ibe arrival of the Cunard steamer Europa we have been placed in possession of three day’s later advices from Europe. Although this news is net of eny very striking importance the details are somewhat interesting. It will be observed that quite a number of distinguished persovages came over m the Europa, of some of whom, together with the Britich view of the Sshery diffioulty, we have alsewhere spoken. The feeling in favor of estab- Wasbivg the empire in France appears to be stronger than ever, at least we should so judge from the puwhber of petitions flowing in on that subject. Lows Napoleon is considering the propriety of form- ing vn extensive military reserve, in order to enable him to carry out his designs in future. We wall eontinne to hear of the terrible ravages of the cholera in Poland. The excitement concerning he"Acetrulian mines, if anything, is on the increase in England. A great number of vessels, with swarms of adventurers, were actively preparing to depart ter the auriferous region. The cotton market at Liverpool was steady, but grain remained quite dull, wing to the fact that the yield of the European barvests was much better than had been expeoted. One thing that looks rather favorable for an amica- dle adjustment of the fishery affair, is the announce- ment that there had been no change in the price of American stocks. A tolerably correct idea of the intentions of the government can generally be gath- ered from the state of the London money market. According to the latest returns from the election in Vermont, the whigs have succeeded in returning their State officers, but by reduced majorities. The Legislature will be whig, and whig members of Con- gress have been chosen from the first and second @istricts ; but in the third, it is not probable there has been an election. On reference to the telegraphic report of the Woman's Rights Convention, it will be seen that the proceedings of yesterday were, if possible, of a far more extraordinary and striking character than ever. After a lengthy discussion upon a proposition te organize a permanent society, the matter was finaliy rejected, for the reason that it would be fol- lewing the example of the men; consequently the eeuventions will continue to be called by central committees. It was argued that it was immaterial whether the Bible favored women’s rights or not, and one or two ladies rejected the authority of the Bcripturee altogether—some of the fair apeakers even went eo far as to sneer at all Christians sects as well as the Jews. But decidedly the most curious part of the whole affair is the fact that they are be- yesterday exploded an‘ instantly killed the engi- veer anda firemen. In Philadelphia, a led was run over and killed on the Market street Railroad during the afternoon; and, on the night previous, in consequence of the negligence of a switch tender, the passenger cars eame in collision with the freight train, on the Lowell road, and one of the brakemen had both his legs broken. The visamboet Relndeee was wholly destroyed by fire, at Saugerties, early yesterday morning. It wae but one woek ago to-day that the lives of thisty-ove persons’were sacrificed by the bursting of eteam pipe on board of this vessel. She has proved a most unfortunate fabric, both to travellers and her owners. A man named Webb had bis ecull fractured, and wes otherwise dreadfully beaten, in Albany, on Thursday night, by a notorious character named Rector, who has already served one term inthe Sing Sing Prison for manslaughter. The proceedings of the Board of Aldermen are becoming more interesting every meeting. Last evening the tedium of debate was relieved by ovca- tional sallies of with and an incident of a rather smusirg character, which, if we have’ room, we shall take the trouble of describing to morrow. Among the petitions presented was one asking that the office of President of the Croton Aqueduct De- partment be conferred upon the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, Mr. Alfred Carson. ‘Che doou- ment was summarily disposed of by laying it upon the table. In the Board of Assistant Aldermen, Mr. Barker took up the report on the Nineteenth ward election, and was descanting on the evidence, when several moved ont and left him without a quorum, and thus shelved the affair once more. prehensive Issues Involved in It. The fishery question is net yet settled. Not, withstanding all the satisfaction manifested in Wall street. at the supposed concessions of the Beitisa eabinet, the question stands in sta’u quo ; just where it has stood for the Jast thirty four years. Fhe difficulties, from two different constructions of the treaty, between Her Majesty’s colonies and our American fishermen, continue the same; and the te be in the confidence of the Derby > | recently announced to the world, with the positive | air of authority, that the fishery question was sab- stantialty settled, in the concession of the right to our fisbermen to fish within the bays of the con- tested fishing grounds. This announcement was bailed on all sides with satisfaction, and the cloud of war which Mr. Webster had raised so suddenly, vanished as suddenly away, and was * In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.” On the other hand, the London Times took a broad- er view of the question, maintaining the exclusive right of Her Majesty’s subjects to the baysand inland | waters aforesaid, and that the British government had made, and could make, no such concession a3 an American right, whatever the extent of British forbearance to enforce the limitations of the treaty and the Jaw of nations. Now, we are informed that the authority of the London Herald was, most pro- bably, the United States legation in London, while the views of the /imes were undoubtedly a reflex | of the exact ground occupied by the British ca- | binet. At all events, while the views of the tor- | wer journal coincide with the despatohes from Mr. Lawrence to our government, the views of the Times | approximate to the despatches which are under- | stoodfte bave been received from Lord Malmesbury | by Mr. Crampton; s0 that, after careful review of | ali the proceedings on both sides, resulting from the | Marrhfield proclamation, we find that the question, so far from being setiled, stands precisely as it did before. Here, we presume, the matter will stand till the incoming of our next administration. Our present! Executive, in turning the subject over to Con- gress, has washed his hands free from the taint of codfish and mackerel. He will have nothing to do with these tavory fish, either pickled or frosh, except upon the table. We must therefore bo content with the présent temporary armistice for a year or two longer; but then we have an abiding faith that the question will be boldly taken up and settled apon abroad and permanent basis, and comprehending every collateral issue in the general arrangement. It is not alone the question of the right of our fishermen to enter, if the pursuit of cod and mack- erel, the bays, banks, creeks, and inlets, of Her position of the British government, in regard to the bays and harbors of the fishing grounds, is still the exclusion of our fishermen, except as a matter of special indulgence. Meantime, the vast increase of American fishing smacks in these debateable waters, and the increasing discontent and hostility of the colonists against “the poaching Yankees,” call earnestly not only for a plain and definite, but fora speedy and comprehensive adjustment of the whole question. What, then, has been the meaning of this late codfish and mackerel panic—this belligerent news- paper discussion on both sides of the water—those mysterious proceedings of the Derby cabinet—the warlike pronunciamentos of Mr. Webster—the still more warlike debates in the United States Senate— the movements of hostile ficets and steamors—the sudden joy of the Irish, and the sensation among the stock-jobbers, all knocked in the head by the very general announcement that this fishery question is settled? How settled ‘—where 1—by whom? There is no answer. All this seneation, and agitation, afta panic, and sudden satisfaction, then, amounts to nothing There has been no settlement. The question stands precisely where it stood before the iseue of Mr. Webster’s bombshell proclamation from Marsh- field. Nothing has been done—nothing conceded, and our fishing vessels are just as liable to seizure and confiscation today, as they were six or twelve months ago. . We have lately received a variety of information— verbal, epistolary, and documentary—upon this question, from which we shall herein undertake a brief and plain statement of the case, in its various bearings, and the comprehensive collateral issues which must necessarily be involved in the general settlement of the controversy. Since 1839, when there was a correspondence (vessela of war and all) between the two governments on this fish- ing question, similar to that which now has so sud- denly ended in a bag of wind, the British gevera- ment, consulting its own commercial interests, and those of its North American colonies, has tried, from time to time, to bring our government to a broad and permanent settlement upon the princi- plesof reciprocity. Sir Henry Bulwer, particularly, lubored with commendable zeal to secure this great end; but President Fillmore, deeming the subject of commereial reciprocities too large for his fane tions, or involving too much responsibility for a man in bis peculiar position, threw the onus upoti Congress, and there it remained. Mr. Webster, bo- lieving that the treaty-making power possessed the needful jurisdiction in the premises, has always been considered favorable to its exercise. He has, how- ever, been overruled by the President; and thus, while the legislative and executive departments have been waiting each for the other to take the initiative, the whole businces has remained, not only unsettled, but practically untouched, to the present dey. The startling pronunciamento from Marsh- field, according to which our fisbe-men were to be protected in their rights, “hook and line, and bob Binning to openly take sides with the political par- and sinker,” was, doubtless, intended as a sort of ties of the day. Resolutions were yesterday of- “Tefed, dne proposing to declare in favor of General Soott, and the other in favor of Goodell, the candi- date of the straight-out abolitionists for the Presi- @ency. There is fun and excitement ahead. Want of room obliges us to defer, till to-morrow, the pub- lication of the detailed report of the seoond day's Procecdings of this convention. If the despatches from Ohio are to be relied en, the whigs of that State are exerting all their strength to carry the day on the 2d of November. We have a despatch from Hamilton stating that the party held » large mass meoting there yesterday at which tke greatest unanimity of feeling prevailed. coup d'état by Mr. Webster, and would unquestion ably have had the desired result of a speedy settle. ment, had President Fillmore followed up the movement, ahd co-operated with Mr. Webster, in forcing the British government to terms. But the President, remarkable for his caution on all occasions, differed with Mr. Webster, officially suppressed his proclamation, the issue was dropped, and the danger was over. Mr. Webster took the bold ground that within three miles from the shore, within as well as with- out the bays of Her Majcety’s North American provinces, eur American fisherman, under the con- vention of 1818, were entitled to fish.

The colo- nies have made it, or will make it, a sine gua non that a reciprocal free trade with the United States, ehall be part of the compact ; and the Canadas will not be excluded from it. In this general plan of reciprocity, it is understood that the free navi ga- tion of the St. Johns and the St. Lawrence is also to be included. This concession would open an immense field of enterprise for American tra- ders and skippers, for shut up as it now is, the great St. Lawrence is, comparatively, the outlet of an upknown and urdeveloped country, while all south beyond its interdicted waters, there is the full developement of life, activity, enter- prise, trade, population, and prosperity. Further- more, by an existing convention with England, re- lating to our trade with her colonies, American bottoms may take in their cargoes in England, des- tined for her colonies, upon the same terms as Eng- lish vessels. This concession extends even to tho English coasting trade, without any corresponding concession on our side, the experiment having been adopted by England under the idea that it would be immensely to her advantage in its general ope- ration. But the present demand for clipper ships in England for Australia has given to our shipowners an advantage of competition which was never anti- cipated. Our clipper ships are now enjoying the richest portion of the trade and emigration from England to her new El Dorado. This traflic is likely to increase to anindefinite extent. England, we have no doubt, will very soon require some mo- dification of our navigation compacts, 60 as toallow her ships the same privileges between our Atlantic yorts and San Francisco, that ours enjoy between any of the English ports and Australia, and all other of Her Majesty’s colonies. Some modifications of this sort, or ofsome other kind, may be expected to be demanded in the general settlement of the fishery question, for the way in which our merchant- men are dipping into the English traffic with Aus- tralia is already becoming a matter of discontent to English traders, an j all others eoncerned. To sum up, then, we have had a considerable flare-up on the fishery question; but it has ended in smoke, wind, gas, nothing The question stands exactly as it stood before, and there it is likely to stand till our next administration shall be fairly under way. Then we may expect the question to come up without the collateral issues of reciprocal free trade with the British colonies, and reciprocity in certain concessions of navigation. We have no doubt that our next administration will be of that stamp which will assume a courageous, positive. and active foreign policy; and, sustained by the pro- grersive spirit of this mighty nation, and animated by its own progressive principles, we may confi dently look to it to settle this fishery question, and all other questions with England, upon an honorable, broad, and substantial basis—a basis, too, which shall vindicate the majesty, and the power, and the true position of these United States among the nations of the earth. But we must even now have patience, end bide our time. More Rowpyism Axp Ficutinc.—We see it stated in the police reports in the newspapers, that several prize fighters have been recently arrested, who had made preparations to @ certain extent to give a bloody exhibition of themselves at some desirable contiguity to this oity. Prize fighting in all its phases is a violation of the law of the land. Yet daring the last few years, we do not recollect that ever any of these prize fighters have been indioted by the Grand Jury, or brought to punishment for disturbing the public peace. We beg leave to ask Mr. District Attorney Blunt if this is not 0? When arrest of rowdies and other violators of the peace of society are made, is it not the duty of the District Attorney to present these casos before the Grand Jury ? And if the Grand Jury return true bills againet the parties implicated, we believe it is equally the duty of the District Attorney to havo the cases tried, and the parties, if found guilty, punished according to law. Unless rowdios and row- dyiem of the higher grade, and of the political type, be taken in hand by the public prosecutor and properly dealt with, we have not the slightest hope of sceing any diminution of this wick- edness in the city, or any poace or propriety at any of the primary meetings of either party. Mr. Blunt is very patriotic and very ready to {asue his legal proclamation in reference to what is or is not the duty or right of the Aldermen as connected with the arrest and discharge of rowdies evor night He deserves credit and praise for his promptitude in eceing that the Aldermen are restricted to their pro per duties; but that is no reason why the public should be disappointed in looking to him and ex- pecting him to do his duty in his position, with as much readiness as ho wishes the Aldermen to do theirs. The moet efficient instrament in putting a stop to the riot, rowdyism, and ruffianism whieh now and for some time past have prevailed in this city, ise prompt, enorgotic, faithful, vigilant, bo- nest Distriet Attorney. We are willing, evon in ad- vance, to ascord to Mr. Blant the gessossion of all these virtues and qualities in the highest perfection, with ten per cent additional for wear and tear; but we also hope that he will justify this liberal opinion we entertain ef him, by his future conduct in refo- rence to the existence of rowdyism in New York. A Kine, a King.—Tho colobrated Col. James 1. Curtis, who, by the intrigues of the barnburners, lost his chance for Governor of New York, and was rejected by the unruly clams as Governor of Coney Island, has, however, been amply rewarded with a higher office, He has just been appointed a king— the Amestoan Mineral King—with aright to estab- lish ordeas of nobility, from Duke down to Baronet, including all the honors and perquisites.

Tae Venworr Buscrion —Why don’t the s0- cialist: avd abolitionists raise = racket about tho Vermont election? They have had clear weather, favorable winds, plenty of tracts, abundance of cold water, ond prodigious guppowder popularity in their Presidential candidate, yet the recent election in ‘Vermont seems to have been tame, flat ,and unpro- fitable, from beginning tuend The only actual re. sult developed in that contest is the decline of the abolitionists proper, and the increase of the demo- crats proper, the whigs or sodfalists remaining in spite of the prodigious popularity of gunpowder precisely as they have been for che last fow years. The truth is, that the election in Vermont, and every recent election, and every reeent assemblage, | only go to prove the truth of the assertion, which we have made sll along. that the present Presiden- tial contest, is one of the fiattest, the stalest, the coldest, and the simplest, that ever took place dur- ing the last thirty years. Military heroes are entire- ly at a discount. Military popularity hus very pearly exploded. If a here could be caught who had piled up hecatombs of several millions of human | leiegs im his hundred battles, we much doubt whether even he would cust a siogle ripple on the politienl surface of the broad pacific oceun of public opinion in the present contest im this country, Tux Weuster Movement in Bosron.—The Bos- ton journals have published a call, with several thousand signatares of © The eolid men of Boston,” for the organization of an independent Webster electoral ticket, which will give to the friends of tho great statesman the opportunity of voting for him for the Presidency. This looks as if the Boston men were in earnest, and we doubt not they will carry out their movemeat right through the Presi- deutiad election. If Massachusetts, therefore, is not carried for Webster, we may set it down as ex- ceedingly doubtfal, almost as doubiful as New Hampsbire, The position of Mr. Webster, as we announced in yesterday’s Heraup, is fully corroborated by the following from the Boston Courier, Mr. Webater’s confidential organ:— We ree it stated in various quarters that Mr, Webster contemplates pubbisbing au address to his friends, advis- ing them as tothe course which they ougiss to parcus, and urging them to refrain from usiug his name in con- nection with the Presidency. These rtacemrnts are put forth by editors of Soott papers—geutlemen wao opposed Mr Webster's interests at Baltigore. op groands of pri- vate malice, and afterwards exuited in the result of the doimgs of the convension. Mr. Webster has wri.ten no letter upom the subject of the Previdenrial election nor will be do so in a “few days” His friends bave not solici- ted his advice as to how they should vote in November next and as they have not, he will hardly volunteer it, All speculation and threats on the partof Mr. Webster's ‘enemies ure useless ; they cannot break his eilence, Now, we trust the Seward-Scott organs are satis- fied—now, where are the thirteen thousand Web- ster men of New York? There is time yet for a splendid Webster movement in this city and State. Let the true friends of Mr. Webster take the mat- ter in hand without further delay.
